What is Color in 3 Patti?
A Color (or Flush) in 3 Patti is a hand where all three cards are the same suit — but they are NOT in consecutive order. If the three cards were also consecutive, it would be a Pure Sequence (which ranks higher).
Example of a Color hand: A♠ 7♠ 3♠ — all three cards are Spades, but not consecutive. This is a valid Color.
NOT a Color: 5♠ 6♠ 7♠ — these are consecutive Spades, making it a Pure Sequence (which ranks higher than Color).
3 Patti Color Rules — How to Compare Colors
When two players both hold a Color, the winner is determined by comparing cards from highest to lowest:
- Compare the highest card first — higher card wins
- If equal, compare second card — higher card wins
- If equal again, compare third card — higher card wins
- If all three are equal — the suit determines the winner: Spades > Hearts > Diamonds > Clubs

- Low Color (7 or below high): Play cautiously — fold to large raises as stronger Colors easily beat you
- Use Sideshow: A Color is strong enough to request a Sideshow against hesitant callers
